They are a very traditional company. Their choice of gray tones for brand colors and very traditional looking fonts is a nod to the seriousness of the topics they help their client with and the care they take in handling these issues for their clients.

I love these brand and be seen segments. You break it down perfectly. It awesome to see the why behind another designers brain. We spend so much time designing, behind our laptops that we often don’t get to chit chat with our fellow creatives.
Thank you so much Torie. I love doing these and have many more planned. It always wonderful to talk to other designers.
Always so interesting to see the details and thoughts that hide behind a logo and a design. Thanks for sharing, Christie!
Gorgeous brand design! I love the simplicity of both the design and the colors. I love that everything has a purpose and a meaning. It keeps me thinking about the feeling and meanings I want to convey on my website.
Christie this is broken down so simply! I really need to do this. Thanks!
This is fun. Pretend branding is always fun…and guaranteed not to have Uncle Ralph’s favorite color needing to be incorporated. I am looking at this thinking how their front office needs to be designed. I get trust, professionalism, expertise and traditional from these choices. Besides that, it is beautiful. Thanks!
The Hypothetical Client – fun! Even this idea gives insight into the depth of your creativity. Thank you!
This was like a video game. Piecing things together digitally to “win” at branding. I enjoy this way of deciding what would fit and work within my personal brand as well as being able to support others in what might be awesome for them. Thank you!
Girl, your stuff is always so useful. It’s fascinating how you broke this down so we can see why each element was chosen.
